I will give myself ten breaths
Everyday.
Ten breaths to wake up to
Ten breaths to count on
Ten breaths to build filters
For the day to come
And to sieve
The night that has gone.

I will give myself ten moments
Everyday.
Moments of wonder, balance
Dedication, freedom
Looking outward, listening in.
I will save a moment for laughter,
Another for pain. And I will always find
A benediction in rain.
